What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Bárbara?
A thorough insurance plan is a good choice for your Santa Bárbara vacation. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Bárbara with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
